Lawrence Berkley & DOE: Surprising Discoveries about 2D Molybdenum Disulfide

Lawrence Berkley & DOE: Surprising Discoveries about 2D Molybdenum Disulfide

Scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have used a unique nano-optical probe to study the effects of illumination on two-dimensional semiconductors at the molecular level. Working at the Molecular Foundry, a DOE Office of Science User Facility, the scientific team used the “Campanile” probe they developed to make some surprising…

University of Rochester: Defects on an atomically thin semiconductor can produce light-emitting quantum dots: Applications in Integrated Photonics

Researchers at the University of Rochester have shown that defects on an atomically thin semiconductor can produce light-emitting quantum dots. The quantum dots serve as a source of single photons and could be useful for the integration of quantum photonics with solid-state electronics — a combination known as integrated photonics.

Scientists have become interested in integrated solid-state…

Silicon Photonics: The next step to a High-Bandwidth Future?

Silicon Photonics: The next step to a High-Bandwidth Future?

The computing and telecommunications industries have ambitious plans for the future: Systems that will store information in the cloud, analyze enormous amounts of data, and think more like a brain than a standard computer.

Such systems are already being developed, and scientists at IBM Researchhave now demonstrated what may be an important step toward commercializing this next…

Scientists Develop a Nanolamp with a Lightning-Fast Switch

Scientists have developed a light source which converts an electrical voltage pulse into a light pulse by means of a single molecule, possibly serving as a prototype for nano-components that convert electrical into optical signals with gigahertz frequencies.

Information is processed and transmitted by ever-smaller components, sometimes with electrons and sometimes with light. Scientists at the Ma…
